Raspberry Pi Pico - SSD1306 OLED Micro Python Library and Setup

[@WispYart]

Thank you for the tutorial! I was finally able to put my OLED together with Pico and print some stuff on the display!

[@renzkyeastwood7520]

Great video! Could you show how to increase text size, or use another font? This would be nice.

[@bretearwood7027]

In the PIL module. ImageDraw and ImageFont control that. True image let's you use a downloaded font.

perfect timing, just got my 5x oled clock running using a tca9548a, may add some animation on oled 6

Best video I’ve seen on the 1306 and Pico, Subscribed!

[@rollandphaneuf2793]

I love this video with a lot of explanation. It work first time. I use this mighty 1" screen to identify my robots. Now they will have their own logo.

[@albrody8861]

First time viewer. Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. Looking forward to following you.

[@ravkhangurra7522]

Great video, can you advise if this solution can be used with a raspberry pi 4?

[@kaylor87]

Thank you so much man! I really appreciate how you explained all of the parameters and stuff that you were using. I'm just barely starting to learn microcontroller programming, and almost all of the other videos I've watched up to this point just tell you what code to enter without any explanation, which honestly isn't hardly helpful at all. I need to know WHY I am entering parameters where they are, and what they mean, or else I can't actually learn it lol. So thank you for doing that, wonderful video!

[@davidlangevin893]

Thank you very much! Very down to earth and easy to follow! It got me up and running easily. A very satisfied customer!

[@Mark-tu1sv]

really like your video, especially the Pi 4 in the car. I'm thinking to put one in too.

[@monacofranze4323]

Thank you for your Video. It is easy to understand und very well made. I just startet with the Pico and bought a ssd1306 and a BME280, so i hope to be able to programme a small weather station with the Pico. This Video is one Step on the ladder to do so ;)

[@sykoremag]

Thank you so much this is the only tutorial with full details

[@auto117666]

Great video, as always. There is only so much time in the day so I feel sometimes I get to code vicariously through you. :)

[@ItsJGonzo]

Thank you! You inspire me to learn what you just did.

[@solracthegreat1002]

Many thanks can you show how you connected the pins from the PICO to the Display??

[@gravestoner2488]

Sweet! I have an oled i haven't used yet and my picos will be here any day now :D thanks

[@gravestoner2488]

Instead of buying a pack of precut wires, I just bought diff color rolls of solid 22ga wire. Probably much more cost efficient.

[@johnhschuster]

Most excellent, this was my next project and you saved me quite a bit of time, I owe you a beer. Keep broadcasting!!

[@larryplatzek9017]

I think your video was great when you made it but I have trouble with the ssd1306 it does not install, any suggestions?

[@brianyoon5086]

[@tubeDude48]

How about the image for the novaspirit. And what editor do you use to create the image.jpg

[@TheRealFrankWizza]

Your tutorials are pretty good man. Quick and to the point. Do you know anything about ROS?

[@richardturnnidge]

I am trying to move a sprite type object over a background. Perhaps you could explain how to blit an image with a mask onto a background as I am struggling to find a way?

Hey Don and fellow followers, I see a small project for you guys to try and solve. Reiterate the code for the image conversion to output as a txt file as to eliminate needing to copy and paste it. Ps good video, Don.

[@ikorbln]

i have a problem with thonny on windows. it cant write the code to the pico. everytime it say that it is write protected. i must save it first to my pc and copy it over to the pico. thats a little odd. but anyway, i like your python videos. they realy help a lot. i have a lot of fun with it.

[@NovaspiritTech]

It's permission. Try running it in administration mode and see if you get the same write protect error. If not they check your permissions

[@ikorbln]

@@NovaspiritTech yes, also with admin-mode i cant save direkt on the pico. i will try it with a ubuntu notebook.....

[@bacardicomeon6972]

using win10, and tried to run .. got this error : File "img2bytearray.py", line 7 ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[@Kimchi_Studios]

I just figured it out for Windows 10! in the cmd type: 1. cd followed by a space 2. drag and drop the folder that img2bytearray.py is in to the cmd after the space. It will paste your path to it in quotes. Add a space after it. 3. click on your image file and select properties and copy the path for that file and paste it exactly into the cmd followed by a space and the 64 64 after that for the height and width. 4. If you get more errors it might be because you have multiple versions of python installed so I recommend uninstalling all of python and reinstalling it, pip, and pillow (google it, super easy and quick). So my full line of code with the drag and drop method looked like: 1. cd "C:\Users\stupidComputerName\Documents\Raspberry Pi\img2bytearray-main" and then 2. python3 img2bytearray.py "C:\Users\stupidComputerName\Documents\Raspberry Pi\img2bytearray-main\dogpic.jpg" 64 64 Your paths will obviously be different. Hope it works for you!

[@abymohanan9403]

[@xgqfrms]

Why not automatically convert the image to a buffer in your code by importing the img2bytearray package? Copying and pasting manually is so inconvenient.

[@deadly_dave]

I'm looking for a little help from anyone willing to offer it. I'm working on my Pico with MicroPython. I have managed to blink a few LED's and make a POT dim and brighten anther LED. I then went onto try an OLED (0.91" SSD1306 OLED Display 128 * 32) I think I have it wired up correctly but that is not where my issue is. I went to 'tools' and 'Manage Packages' and searched for SSD1306 and tried to install the library but I get the following error msg. (It doesn't seem to matter which library I try too install I always get the same error) Installing to: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpvzwv1kb7\ micropip returned with error code 1 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
